Van Jones on Trump Calling GOP Abortion Positions ‘Terrible’: Trump Doesn’t Want To Be Part of That

EXCERPT:

JONES: "That's what he's trying to do. You know, the Republicans are the dog that caught the car, and now the car is backing up over them, over and over again. That’s the problem the Republicans have on this issue. They got what they wanted, but what they wanted is so unpopular it cost them full control of Congress and a bunch of other stuff, and more pain to come for Republicans in general because there’s more pain to come for women in general. You have these horror stories that are coming out at the local level, people who have ectopic pregnancies, almost dying, having to go to a different state, doctors afraid to help women. So this — the reason this is an issue isn't for some ideological reasons, it's because actual human beings are suffering and afraid, actual doctors are scared to help save lives they don’t want to go to prison in multiple states across the country. This is a catastrophe that's unrolling across the country. Donald Trump is smart enough to know he doesn’t want to be a part of that, so he lies about the lies he lies about, that’s his whole thing. He will try to play both sides against the middle and run up the middle with that."
